Check out Teen Tech Week

Check in @ your library during Teen Tech Week!

Teen Tech Week is a celebration of technology connecting with public libraries for our youth sponsored by the American Library Association. It takes place March 10-16. KCPL is celebrating TTW across all branches!

During Teen Tech Week we will promote our public library as your technology resource, where you can access and use a variety of technological devices, get help with your devices or with using computers, laptops, and more, attend computer and software classes, and more! KCPL has a digital branch, which is where you can access e-books, digital magazines, research databases, test preparation software, and even attend online classes!

Here’s what’s going on at your library:

Personally, I like all three social media websites. Facebook for stalking people I don’t like, Tumblr for stalking celebrities. Twitter allows me to inform the celebrities i stalk of every time I go to the bathroom or stub my toe.

I use Facebook to network with fellow culinary students and I already subscribe to this blog. I also shared this link and informed 593 friends of this contest on Facebook. I now follow KCPL on my Pinterest account!
